Blast Furnace, originally recorded in 1971, plus one bonus track: This is one of the best Danish albums, now for the first time released on CD. From the original master tape, remastered in super-bit-mapping sound quality. Brilliant song writing in the tradition of 'The Beatles', 'Jehtro Tull' and 'Pretty Things' (during their fertile period from 1968-1970), but none of them met with much commercial success. Blast Furnace never became a victim of excessive, long instrumental doling like some of their contemporaries. Superb hard-progressive rock with real strong guitar flashes, wild-tough vocals and razor-sharp instrumental breaks balanced between electric guitar, Hammond organ and flute. With Arne Würgler (pre PAN) bass, cello and Niels Vangkilde guitar, Thor Backhausen organ, flute and Tom Mc Evan lead vocals drums, all later joined CULPEPPER'S ORCHARD.
